"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other" said John Adams. In other words, the government is not going to impose religion, morals, or values it expects the people to have those on their own.
People who run businesses that extract wealth from the sick, the old, the dying, or people in other situations where they are not really able to make free choices, are vile and a cancer on our society.

That is right. But it doesn't mean something cannot be done, such as a general uprising with organized morals against the prevailing winds of profit above all else. Slavoj Žižek said it best when he said that we are conditioned to believe that anything is possible scientifically, but we are highly doubtful of any social change. We need to reverse that: to believe that we can change the world sociall rather than technologically, or perhaps despite the technological changes.
